This might sound difficult but it's not. You should know the easiest way to get on I/78 near Allentown. Take I/78 to PA 33 to I/80 to US 209 to I/84 (at the PA-NY border) to I/90 (Mass Pike toll) to I/495 to Cape Cod. The Newburgh-Beacon bridge is about $10 for us 5 axles and the toll on I/90 is about $3; that's it for tolls. If you take I/287 over the Tappen Zee bridge the toll will be at least $ 20. Also make sure you have an EZ-Pass.
If you arrive between 9 AM and 9 PM at the Cape bridges be prepared for a long wait.

I've been going to the cape from Maryland every summer for the last 10 years. From Baltimore I'd take I83 north to I81 north. Then take I78 east to I287 north to the NY State Thruway. Then I would take the Tappen Zee (Mario Cuomo)bridge which links to I287 east across to I95 north. Take 95 all the way to Providence, RI. and I195 east right to the cape. I84 takes you too far north for the cape. Don't worry about the difference in tolls (10 vs 20) you would burn more in fuel then you would be saving in tolls going by way of I84. Actually, the highest price toll currently for a motorhome with 4 or more axles over the TZ bridge is only 12.75 not 20.00. As little as 6.88 depending on the time of day. I95 traffic north of NYC is not that bad on a Saturday. This is the shortest, fastest way with minimal tolls.
BTW:The TZ bridge is a cashless toll. There is no stopping to pay. Either you have EZ-Pass or you get the toll bill in the mail.
